2010 MERCURY MILAN Complaints

I backed out of a parking space in a parking lot and turned the steering wheel left then as I put vehicle into "drive" my steering seemed to lock up and became extremely hard to turn. I kept attempting to turn wheel and suddenly it was easily turned again as normal. While I was driving home the power steering stopped working causing steering wheel to feel as if locked again and almost impossible to turn in any direction. I almost wrecked my vehicle and hit another vehicle on the road way but hit my brakes and continued to aggressively turn the wheel to missed the vehicle in front of me. I heard and felt a pop and then steering wheel was easily turned again. I barely missed the vehicle in front of me but I did hit the curb and a bicycle a pedestrian was holding next to him on sidewalk. He was able to jump out of the way and was fortunately unharmed. I stopped my vehicle and parked immediately. I called my husband and he came to get the vehicle and I drove his home. He had no problems driving vehicle home and power steering was working as normal but once he was close to pulling into the driveway, a warning message on dash read "service power steering now".... there were no warning of this problem what so ever and just suddenly happened. Very dangerous and I have read many many others have had same issue with exact make and model of 2010 mercury milan. Please add this issue with power steering to recall list so others don't get hurt. I hurt my neck & wrist when I hit that curb and bicycle. I also had to pay for bicycle I hit.. A code reader was put onto car the next day and gave codes C-1963 and C-1277 if that helps with the recall. Thank you for your time and concern in this matter and I apologize for any inconvenience.

The contact owns a 2010 Mercury Milan. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH on the interstate, the power steering became inoperable. The power steering fault message was displayed. The contact pulled over, restarted the vehicle, and the power steering started to work as designed. The contact stated that the failure recurred without warning. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 102,000.

I was pulled over for my BRAKE LIGHT being out. I went to the dealer and was charged $600 for a brake light assembly. My car has 35,636 miles on it, like new vehicle. Even though it is know defect Ford would not reimburse me for part. I was told it was out of warranty and NOT a saftey issue. I certainly believe that a brake light is a safety issue- especially since they have not replaced my driver side airbag. I think this part should have been recalled and I should be reimbursed. Thank you!

As I was driving the service power steering now was indicated on the dash and the steering got super tight and almost caused an accident.

The power steering went out while I was driving in a parking lot. I replaced the rack and pinion and it went out again the day after I got it fixed. Warning lights saying fix power steering now and trac control are on. My mechanic can’t figure out why the power steering keeps going out and isn’t sure how to fix it.

Driving and steering fault showed on dash. Steering failed became dangerous to control vehicle.

An ABS warning light appeared on dashboard. When I was slowing to stop, the brake pedal started going to the floorboard. I was able to stop by almost standing on brake pedal. Ford dealership could find nothing. I checked brake fluid, fine. Light on dashboard were out. Was repeating sporadically, took to another mechanic whose assistant almost went through wall of shop. After code said ABS module, replaced. Problem repeated. Currently at another Ford dealership (4weeks waiting on hydrologic control module). Other Mercury Milan Hybrid have been recalled, why not this one?

The passenger rear tail light has gone out on my 2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid. Just had the left one replaced 5 months ago to the tune of $900 and the dealership is asking for the same for this one. Seriously, a $900 tail light?
